175271 - "Copy" and "Copy Link Location" share the same keyboard shortcut

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135225

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021017

Right click a link. In the popup menu there is "&Copy link location" and
"&Copy". (Both use 'C' as a keyboard shortcut).

Days ago, every file I wanted to download, I right clicked the link, pressed c
and pasted the URL in the console. Now, it's necessary to right click, press c,
and press enter to select the first option.

Both options are useful, but... should they have different shortcuts? Ex: "Copy
link locatio&n" and "&Copy"


Reproducible: Always

Aha, there has to be some text selected to get "Copy" in the context menu.

This should be easy to fix, any takers?

i need to make a graph or something of all possible combinations. (I think hixie
and jkeiser have testcases for it.)

i think I can change "bookmark this link" from (L) to (B) and then change "copy
link location" from (C) to (L). would someone like to check this for me?

(there's actually a spec for this, someone could check there..., I think it's
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/communicator/framework/contextmenus/cmrev2-3a.html
and it appears to conveniently not handle mixed cases)
